Day 46


 










Jessica and I are still on a Mooring ball in Man-O-War cay.  This morning I woke up while Jessica was still fading in out and I broke out the Christmas tree and laid it on the table. She was so surprised when she woke up without her contact lens and could barely make out what was on the table. She put on her glasses and was so surprised to see a miniature Christmas tree. We spent the first half of the morning decorating the tree, then we took a walk in town. We found a bakery that had fresh brownies and a few dog treats for Alli, who walked around the bakery/museum like she owned the place.   We read the memorial to the hurricane Dorian that devastated to the community six years ago.  It was our first cloudy day and the temperatures dropped to a chilly 74° fort a high today.  We spent some time on the boat today and I changed  the transmission fluid and we had a nice relaxing day listening to Christmas music.

    Oh dear friends, Christmas in the Caribbean. Perfect little tree. And I can't help but comment on how light and airy the cabin of your boat looks from up here in North Carolina. Not at all like the dark, tight little space I have always imagined. I might actually have to venture down there and see what is what. Or does it only look like that in the Caribbean?

After nine months of planning and preparation, we finally left the dock today. Today is our two year wedding anniversary. Thanks to Chris for surprising us with coffee and donuts in the clubhouse this morning. Paul threw the dock lines on Methuselah, and Debbie and Chris took some pictures as we left Blackbeards. We will celebrate our anniversary on anchor in Beaufort tonight.

Day 3

  We got a good night sleep despite the gunfire from Camp Lejeune.     We woke up to beautiful sunny skies and we made our way with following winds and tides down to Wrightsville Beach where we met my good buddy Dennis at the dockside restaurant for a late lunch.    Picked up a Mooring ball at Carolina Beach and had a nice stroll on the boardwalk with Allie testing the bark collar….she wore out the battery!    We hope by the time we get to the Bahamas, she will be used to people and dogs in strange towns.

Day 2

  Left this morning from Beaufort with a cool motor down the intercoastal waterway past Swansboro and ended up anchoring in mile hammocks Bay at Camp Lejeune. At times the motoring got a little monotonous so we decided to play with the WebCam and get these    cute pictures.    Tomorrow, the weatherman promised us the sun!
